they're all vulnerable to being hacked. there are hundreds of people trying to find a way into places like this all the time. you can't account for every single angle.

best you can do is get your coins in and out as quickly as possible. it's an alt only exchange so there's no excuse to leave anything on there. i'm sure the guys who own the site would agree.

I no more worry about the security of exchange sites and safety of investments there.
After Cryptsy, I got habits of moving my bitcoins forth and back almost daily with my wallets, it got one more confirmation with recent bitfinex incident.

Everyone hire security experts and everyone gets hacked ,even if they didn't get hacked yet , they may get hacked in the future.
I wouldn't recommend storing your funds there (at least not for the long term), storing them for exchanging in a short period is totally fine.
Probably the good thing about Bittrex and Poloniex is that they store most of their funds (80-90% in cold storage) , so even If hackers get access to the funds , they will only get some , nothing big.

I think that Bittrex is a save website and I am using it already it long time.
If you use 2FA it's much more secure than without... at all I recomend using Bittrex and there hasn't been any hack I know. Smiley

Bittrex is never hacked, I have 2FA as well. Never hacked there. Even polo was hacked in 2014. Bittrex security is no.1

Hi, I have traded on bittrex for 2 years, I suffered those full of scams era, and survived. I have never heard bittrex has been hacled, is it true? Or do I miss some news?

Their founders were computer security specializers, so I trust it very much. Is bittrex very safe and secure, have you been stolen by hackers when you have 2FA?

Welcome to discuss, thanks!
